The Coalition of Northern Groups, CNG has described the call for divine intervention against security challenges by Islamic clerics that met in Kano as timely step in the right course.
Spokesperson of the group Abdul-Azeez Suleiman, while briefing journalists, said as a Muslim, he doubts the efficacy of prayers to beseech God’s help and support in solving every issue no matter how complex.
He however cautioned that whatever amount of prayers must be backed by action from the government as the first responder and improved cooperation and support by the public.
Suleiman also noted that the group had already flagged-off series of prayer sessions which began in Kano late last year in recognition of the enormity of the security challenges in the country especially around the North.
